In the present embodiment, the local oscillator 14 is a local oscillation signal that is generated by the secondary frequency division of the oscillating signal source having a frequency of about 4Fo, and is eight phases. Therefore, it is shown as LO[7 in FIG. 0]. The eight phases include phases of twist, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, 180 degrees, 225 degrees, 270 degrees, and 315 degrees, and are shown as signal LOj in Figure 1. , l〇_45. , LO_90. , LO_135. , • LO_180. , LO_225. , LO-270. And LO_315. . Since the 4Fo oscillating signal source is generated after the second frequency division, the frequency of the multi-phase local oscillation φ signal L 约 is located in the first frequency band, that is, approximately Fo. Please also refer to Figure 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a dual mode differential mixing module 16 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The dual mode differential mixing module 16 includes a switching module 30, differential local frequency mixing circuits 32a, 32b, and differential sub-spectral mixing circuits 34a, 34b. Switching module 30 can be implemented by a transfer gate or by other means. The switching module 30 receives the eight-phase local oscillation signal L0_〇. , l〇_45. , LO_90. , LO—135°, LO_18〇°, LO 225. , LO 270. And LO 315. And — _ • and transmitting the local oscillation signal to the differential local frequency mixing circuits 32a and 32b when in the first frequency band receiving mode. Therefore, the local oscillation signals are transmitted to the differential local frequency mixing circuits 32a and 32b. For F()_〇. , F〇_45. , Fq_90 °, Fo 135 °, Fo_180 °, Fo 225. , Fo 270. And F〇 315. . * - _ The differential local frequency mixing circuits 32a and 32b are respectively a Gilbert mixer in this embodiment. Please refer to Fig. 4 at the same time, and the schematic diagram of the differential main frequency mixing circuit 32a is enlarged. This Gilbert mixer contains four mixing units. • In this embodiment, each mixing unit is an N-type MOS transistor 320, 322, 324, and 326. The gates of the 201216629 N-type MOS transistors 320, 322, 324 and 326 of the differential local frequency mixing circuit 32a receive the local oscillation signal from the switching module 30 respectively in the receiving mode of the first frequency band. Inverted two phase Fo_0. It is enabled with Fo_180°, and is mixed according to the differential amplified RF signals RF+ and RF- from the source to generate the first differential fundamental frequency signal at the drain. In this embodiment, the first differential fundamental frequency signal generated by the differential local frequency mixing circuit 32a is the in-phase differential fundamental frequency signal 1+. It should be noted that the differential local frequency mixing circuit 32a is implemented in the present embodiment. In the example, φ includes the settings of the redundant mixers 321, 323, 325, and 327. The redundant mixer 俾 makes the multi-phase local oscillator signal not used by the Gilbert mixer to generate portions of the first and second differential fundamental signals, such as Fo_45. , Fo_135 °, F〇_225°, and Fo_315. Can be offset by redundant mixers 321, 323, 325, and 327. It can be seen from Fig. 4 that the portion of the differentially amplified RF signal RF+ and Fg_45° can be offset by the portion of the differentially amplified RF signal RF+ and Fo_225°, and the differentially amplified RF signal RF-and The F混_225° mixed portion can be offset by the portion of the differential amplified RF signal RF- and φ Fo-4r. Therefore, the phase of the local oscillating signal that is not used in the differential local frequency mixing circuit 32a can be canceled without causing interference to the portion that is actually required to be mixed. Similarly, the gates of the four N-type MOS transistors of the differential frequency mixing circuit 32b receive the inverted phase F of the local oscillation signal from the switching module 30 due to the receiving mode in the first frequency band. )_9〇. And Fo_270. And being enabled, and based on the differential amplification of the RF signal RF+ and RF- from the source, the first differential baseband signal is generated at the drain. In this embodiment, the first differential fundamental frequency signal generated by the differential local frequency mixing circuit 32b is orthogonal to the 201216629 phase differential fundamental frequency signals Q+ and Q-. The unused Fo_225° and Fq_315 are used. The phase will also be offset by the setting of the redundant mixer. In the second frequency band receiving mode, the switching module 30 can also receive the eight-phase local oscillation signals LO_0, LO_45, LO_90, LO_135, LO_180, LO_225, LO_270, and LO_315, and transmit the local oscillation signal to the differential local frequency mixing circuit. 32a and 32b, therefore, the local oscillation signals transmitted to the differential local frequency mixing circuits 32a and 32b are represented as 2Fg_0, 2Fo_45, 2Fo_90, 2Fo_135, 2Fo_180, 2Fo_225, 2Fo-270, and 2Fo_315. The differential subharmonic mixing circuits 34a and 34b are respectively a Gilbert mixer in this embodiment. Please also refer to Fig. 5 for a schematic diagram of the amplification of the differential subharmonic mixing circuit 34a. The Gilbert mixer comprises four mixing units. In this embodiment, each mixing unit is two N-type MOS transistors 340 and 341, 342 and 343, 344 and 345, 346 and 347. The gates of the eight N-type MOS transistors 340-347 of the differential sub-harmonic mixing circuit 34a receive the orthogonal four of the local oscillation signals from the switching module 30 respectively in the first frequency band receiving mode. The phases 2Fo_0 °, 2Fo_90 °, 2Fo_l 80 " and 2Fo_270 ° are enabled, and are mixed according to the differential amplified RF signals RF+ and RF- from the source to generate the first differential fundamental frequency signal at the drain. . Since the local oscillation signal has a local oscillation signal with a phase difference of 90 degrees, the local oscillation signal of the original frequency of Fo can be generated by superimposing a 2Fg local oscillation signal and mixed with the differential amplification RF signal RF+ and RF-. frequency. In the present embodiment, the second differential fundamental frequency signal generated by the differential subharmonic mixing circuit 34a is the in-phase differential fundamental frequency signals R and I-. Similarly, the gates of the eight N-type MOS-2216629 transistors of the differential sub-harmonic mixing circuit 34b receive the four-phase 邛77 of the local oscillation signal in the second frequency band receiving mode 30. Group 2F0-225. And 2F〇-315. It is enabled and mixed according to a 135°, large RF signal RF+ and RF. The differential amp signal is at the pole. In this embodiment, the differential sub-spectral wave _$= is poor, and the second differential fundamental frequency signal of the base is a quadrature phase differential base frequency. Therefore, in this embodiment, the same signal can be used to achieve dual mode _ frequency reception, without the need for c local oscillation to set an additional local oscillator signal conversion circuit, different modes and rate and area effects. Radio frequency signal interference can also be avoided by setting the frequency source of the RF signal. Then, the oscillation signal of the ^5 can reach a lower pass by the lower frequency: j: the eve = the trace loss of the line, and the county advances the step to make the input orthogonal, and subtract. Lower improvement. The phenomenon that the parent 1〇唬 does not match can be switched to the dual mode differential low noise amplification module, which will save = product. The differential local frequency mixing circuit and the differential secondary mixing power===, according to the same multi-phase local sewing signal, the RF signal is received for different frequency bands to directly reduce the m meaning, the upper differential is In the frequency mixing circuit and the differential subharmonic mixing circuit, the embodiment is formed by using an N-type metal oxide semi-transistor as: The mixing unit may also be formed of a P-type MOS transistor, and is not necessarily formed of a ruthenium-type MOS transistor. Please refer to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a flow chart of the method of receiving = receiving in the disclosure - the embodiment. The RF signal receiving method can be applied to the dual-mode RF transceiver as shown in FIG. 1 . The RF signal receiving method package 201216629 includes the following steps. In step 601, the RF signal 11 is located in the second frequency band when the antenna 10 is in the first frequency band receiving mode and is in the second frequency band receiving mode, wherein the second frequency band is about twice the first frequency band. In step 602', according to the RF signal 11, the differential inductor circuit 22 has a first inductance value in the first frequency band receiving mode, and the differential inductance circuit 22 has a second inductance value in the second frequency band receiving mode. The differential amplifying circuit 20 is coupled with the differential amplifying circuit 20 to generate differential amplified RF signals RF+ and RF-. In step 603, a multi-φ phase local oscillation signal LO[7:0] is generated, the frequency of which is approximately in the first frequency band. When the first frequency band receiving mode is in step 604, step 605' is enabled to enable the differential frequency mixing circuits 32a and 32b to respectively receive the two phases of the multiphase local oscillation signal LO[7:0]. , 混 according to the differential amplification RF signal 11 mixing to generate the first differential fundamental frequency signal I+, I- or Q+, Q·. When it is in the second frequency band receiving mode in step 606, step 607 is executed to enable the differential subharmonic mixing circuits 34a and 34b to receive the quadrature of the multiphase φ local oscillation signal LO[7:0].
